Computers Are Like Cars

I never thought it would happen to me. No, not the fact that my computer crashed two weekends ago. I never thought I’d get caught again without having backed everything up.

“Listen to your own message,” I always say to my authors and in my workshops. And I always say, “back up, back up, back [...]

I’m a cut from the old cloth: my dad. I like to party. I’m a social being by nature.

But that was mostly when I [...]

Citizen Journalism Is Officially Mainstream

No matter where you were in the world, you woke up or ended the day in horror watching, what Piers Morgan so aptly described, “Apocalypse Japan.”

Today’s devastating earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan honed a new reality when it comes to journalism. As have these past couple months of upheaval in the Middle East.

Inspiration Comes From Many Places

You never know where it will come from and when. The key is to be open, ready, and with pen in hand.

I’m working on a program to help not just authors, but everyone with a business venture or company learn how to use the new tools of marketing to their advantage and stay relevant [...]

Getting a Publisher

Oh, if I had a dollar for every inquiry I received about finding a publisher. My answer today is different than it was December 2009. It used to be that I’d tell someone to only solicit a publisher that published the same genre as their book, to go to their website and make sure it [...]

Do All of Our Teachings Ring Some Form of Hypocrisy?

I just came home from a really great seminar where the speaker delivered lots of really good meat that one can apply right away and make an immediate impact on their business.

Really good stuff. The two-hour talk flowed along and I was writing copious notes. It was all about building your business by controlling [...]
